WTF!!!!
Yes it is real.
'A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist -- it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle. And even better, it might help save the planet.
Ben Gulak has spent several years building the electric Uno that uses gyroscopic technology -- like the infamous Segway commuter device -- to stay upright.
The bizarre-looking contraption has only one switch -- on or off -- and is controlled entirely by body movement. The rider leans forwards to accelerate to speeds of 25 mph and back to slow down. It has two wheels side-by-side and has been turning heads wherever it has been ridden.'

Toy of the Day....
Taranis Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) Demonstrator. Let's hope the Government fund the bloody thing. We need it but without a major increase in defence funding we will not be getting a lot of the kit our boys desperately need.
